Just has my JS1 today. Super chill, I got the feeling that they really just wanted to learn more about me and make sure I could carry on a conversation. Interview thread and last years applicant thread were both great resources. Don't sweat it and be yourself, good luck everyone!

Also finished with JS today, and as everyone has mentioned before, the process is extremely relaxed. She asked me questions almost entirely about my resume and personal statement, with the exception of the usual 'Why Now' and 'Why Harvard' questions. I went in prepared with 5-6 short stories I might use to answer general questions about accomplishments, but I ended up not needing any of them.

Even though I had the interview so early, however, I likely won't hear in the first round, because she hinted that since I'm graduating in three years, they want to see one more semester of grades before they make a final decision. But who knows, maybe I convinced her and I'll hear back in three weeks! Now comes the waiting game...

We have very similar numbers and I've judged myself to have a coin flips chance at acceptance. I got my JS1, so if everything else in your app is free of red flags I'd say you have the same and could expect a JS1. However, I'm told I'm a pessimist, so maybe we've got better chances than I think. Or maybe worse, who knows .

Lol weren't you pouting about not getting a JS1 earlier ITT? Maybe that was someone else. Congrats though, brah. When did you submit+JS1? I really want my JS1
